For any commutative ring $A$ we introduce a generalization of $S$--noetherian rings using here\-ditary torsion theory $\sigma$ instead multiplicatively closed subset $S\subseteq{A}$. It is proved that totally noetherian w.r.t. local property, and if w.r.t $\sigma$, then finite type.

We first provide an example of a ring R such that all possible 2 × 2 structural matrix rings over R are isomorphic. However, we prove that the underlying graphs of any two isomorphic structural matrix rings over a semiprime Noetherian ring are isomorphic, i.e. the underlying Boolean matrix B of a structural matrix ring M(B,R) over a semiprime Noetherian ring R can be recovered, contrary to the ...

We obtain a complete structural characterization of Cohn-Leavitt algebras over no-exit objects as graded involutive algebras. Corollaries of this result include graph-theoretic conditions characterizing when a Leavitt path algebra is a directed union of (graded) matricial algebras over the underlying field and over the algebra of Laurent polynomials and when the monoid of isomorphism classes of...
